It's like a 10-60 lubricant.

No, it's more like rear-end grease, just not as thick.

EP is Extreme Pressure rating.
Probably whatever you use in your manual trans will work fine. Maybe inquire to a place that rebuilds manual steering boxes about their recommendation. |

What I learned is that the graphtite seal isn't as foolproof as it may seem. Then again, maybe I'm just a special level of fool LOL. Given my experience, I wouldn't recommend installing any real main seal with a crank in place because of the cleaning and the prep required in the cap and the block. I'm sure it has be done successfully, just seems to add another layer of risk to a labor intensive procedure. You can't install the one piece with the crank in place anyway. Lots of people say you can't use the Viton seal with serrated cranks, but Wade at BOP will tell you differently. The factory crank serrations are also way less aggressive than aftermarket cranks and more amenable to Viton. That said, I did have my Eagle crank polished down before I installed the one piece for insurance.

On further investigation of the engine that is currently in my car, I found the block serial # which includes the last 6 digits of my car's VIN. So, that indicates it is an original number matching engine, right? Also found the large 350 casting on drivers side.
Is there a way I can find out what WN means on the ID#? |

I would highly recommend however if it is not leaking now you are playing the "will it leak" game either way - pontipigs are famous for this.
Some guys tilt them for a couple days just see the leaking before shoe horning them back in. My mechanic forgot to change the seal, then it leaked like crazy, then bought the two piece after-the-fact, and it still leaks...fml

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
